Plans to rebuild Oxford station look to be great news for cyclists. The notorious Botley Road railway bridge is to be replaced in 2017, and there’ll be full room underneath for cycle lanes and wider pavements. The current underpass was named by Sustrans as one of the ten worst cycling blackspots in Britain.

Bike-supporting local councillor Susanna Pressel told the Oxford Mail: “Ever since I first became councillor 18 years ago, this has been the one thing people here have been clamouring for”.
